I have to say, some of my best ideas are the ones that come to me last minute. I didn't like my plans for second grade today. I wasn't excited about them. So I decided to scrap them at the last minute and we ended up with this instead! Such a simple drawing, the kids loved it and it was such a quick, one period lesson. We started by talking about something that I talk about ALOT! You can draw anything, no matter how complicated, by breaking it down into simple shapes. We looked at pictures of foxes and had a discussion how we would draw a fox using simple shapes. We broke the head, body, legs, and tail into simple shapes, like triangles, ovals, and rectangles.
